Hello, I have recently installed FreeBSD 5.3-Release on a ThinkPad T41, and upgraded to 5.4-stable: FreeBSD kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 30 22:05:15 CET 2005 root@kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/T41 i386 This ThinkPad have an Atheros-based wireless card built-in: tingo@kg-jobbpc3$ dmesg | grep ath0 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xc0210000-0xc021ffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2 ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:05:4e:46:ba:e5 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps I'm using a Linksys WRT54G as an access point. Both the WRT54G and the T41 supports WPA, so the AP is configured with WPA-PSK. With "other os" this works; I connect my T41 to the AP, and it just works. But I don't want to use "other os" on this ThinkPad. Now, is there a way to get the T41 with FreeBSD 5.3-stable to support WPA? -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
